Plans are underway for Washington’s 175th Anniversary Celebration. The event will take place June 1st through the 8th, with each day having a different theme organized by various chairs, including a History Day and an Agriculture Day. Chairpersons of the steering committee are Millie Youngquist and Diane Gallagher.

Youngquist states that the committee hopes to encourage tourism, enhance the awareness of the town’s history, and to show that Washington is an extension of the Eastern Iowa business corridor.
